Shirt harness

ABSTRACT

An inner and/or outer layer of non-stretchable material or material having non-elastomeric components, affixed as a lining to a garment or undergarment made from stretchable material to cover the surface of the shoulders and lateral torso walls areas, which when bind against the body acts as an harness, to perform as support and restraint the weight of a holster that is fastened on to the outer layer of the non-stretchable material. 
     The layer of non-stretchable material combined with stretchable fabric, keeps from stretching out of shape and strengthens the area covered by the fabric, for instance where the holster that supports the weight of a handgun and ammunition magazines or other hand held type products that are fastened to the garment or undergarment.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of holsters forhandguns, specifically a holster shirt for concealed carry wears.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION No holster shirt has been provided thatcan be worn as an outer or under shirt that includes lateral torsoportions discretely integrated therein that provide both, support andrestraint of the weight placed from a holster that is fastened onto thegarment. Some holster shirts heretofore utilized are simply constructedonly to support the weight of a holster and to present a neatappearance, and lack significant support when the wearers body is inmotion, they are also limited in restraint in the elimination of swayingand sagging of handgun or any other hand held product placed inside theholster that is fastened onto the garment.

Most holster shirts are manufactured with 100% cotton or polyester typematerials, etc., but non-offer an integral solution to both support andrestraint the swaying and the sagging of a holster fastened to thegarment. Like the aforementioned shirts appointed to prevent shiftingupon the wearer's body, these non elasticized or elasticized formfitting garments are generally fabricated from either all elastic or allnon elastic elements integrated into portions of the garment in order tokeep the handgun in place, but fall far from preventing swaying orsagging under body motion, making them uncomfortable and useless undermost active conditions.

A solution is a layer of non-stretchable material a.k.a. shirt harness,affixed to a garment and/or undergarment made of stretchable materials,in which when both materials combined they bring out the best of bothworlds, a self adjusting shirt harness.

Notwithstanding the efforts of prior art workers to construct a holstershirt, there remains a need in the art for a self adjusting shirtharness, adapted to both support the weight and restraint the movementfrom a loaded holster that is fastened on to a shirt which will resultin comfort mostly when worn under active conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A layer of non-stretchable material a.k.a. shirt harness, which is usedin the manufacture of a holster shirt, such fabric is affixed to agarment and/or undergarment made from stretchable material, and is sewnonto the garment and/or undergarment as an inner and/or outer layercovering the surfaces of the shoulders and lateral torso walls,providing support and restraint, eliminating the sagging and swayingfrom the weight of a holster that is fastened onto the garment.
